In Jan. 2010, I walked five precincts for Adam. About a month after he lost that primary, I emailed him and asked him to run for Hinsdale village trustee in April 2011. I said that he would easily run and that, if he got experience, in a local elected office, he could win a race for Congress or the state legislature in 2016 or ‘18. He said that he won’t run, but he didn’t say why.
Why ? Imma guess because Andrejewski regarded your suggestion as a pissant post, nevermind that it was a productive and helpful bit of political advice. When you’re an egomaniac, why run for a job you could actually win (and accrue experience) when you can run for a top job you think you’re entitled to because you’re God’s gift to the people ? If they don’t have the reason and sensibility to set their sights lower, better to let them crash and burn in a primary for higher office - they might actually learn from it and grow up. Then again, they might not.
